Autumnal Ruby

While on the subject of models (see previous shot), this is my fave all time model, my bessie mate, my photoshoot assistant, Ruby

This is a shot from Saturday, on St. Mary's park after a session chasing her toys around the park . Ruby likes to carry a toy on the homeward leg of our regular walks to St. Mary's

I think she likes being the centre of attention and often makes eye contact with people in the street as we walk home, saying "look at me , I bet you wish you could carry a toy home, aren't I cute" :)

Aw, what a sweetie.

She's lovely, Phil. I know I've said it before but her ears are so endearing I can't help remarking on them again !
Nice light and definition on her dark fur against the bright background of the leaves.

Great capture of Ruby. Love those long ears (Clare's dog has the same!)

[Myrna O'Hara]

nice shot, funny how they like to take toys on their walks.

[Jen Hudson]

She stands out well against the bright autumn leaves. Some dogs just love to carry something. Lovely face.

I like the pop of white/pattern in that toy.

What a sweet Ruby photo!! My Charlie is also my photo buddy!! Great shot Phil!

She is very cute and a companion to cherish. My son has a pet dog that is a cross with a pit bull. I love him but sometimes I am scared of his big powerful mouth.
